The Role of God in a Spiritual Couple’s Marriage

For this week’s podcast, Nate Bagley sat down with Natalie and Steve, a couple who have broken up and gotten back together, to talk about the role of God in a relationship.

On today’s episode, Melissa and I sit down with Natalie and Steve of the suburbs of Chicago. We talk about their courtship, how it ended in breakup, then they got back together, then almost broke up again. We learn about why their belief in God is essential to the type of marriage they enjoy. And we talk a lot about trust and taking risks, and a lot of other awesome stuff!
